the small hole in the forward top corner of the

a figure of eight stopper knot in each end of the
line to prevent unthreading.
3. When you put the board into its slot upon
launching, you can then loop the shockcord
retaining line round the base of the mast
(Below the mast gate) and clip it together.
Warning: If the daggerboard is not secured using the shock

cord and fully re-tracts during a capize, the boat will invert and
there is a risk of entrapment.
In strong winds, or if you are unsure whether you
can cope with the conditions, it is always best to
reef the sail down to reduce its area.
